I am thinking of buying the game. Is the game worth the price, now that it has 40% sale?

I think so, it was cheaper at pre order thought

I paid $12 for two (I think, preorder price) then sold the second for 5 keys. :D

I was going to buy it too. I want it for the look alone and because it looks fun.

It is very well worth the price. It's a sandbox game, so be warned if you don't like the genre.

The dev keep adding new content everytime, adding depth and longevity.

Game is good, but you will have to die a lot of times before surviving a lot. But it's fun after :D

When does it get fun! I keep on dying on the 5-day mark. Once a living tree came after me in the dark, second time I just starved because my bunny traps failed me. Just yesterday, died on day 7; was living beside a Pig Village and I died while trying to cook (was literary starving!) and fend off 3 spiders at the same time. Man, I miss Terraria...

Some people consider what you just wrote fun and I'm guilty being one of them. But tastes differ and this simply may not be the game for you.

Still you can always check the wikis or guides in general, if you feel like you need to know something or need help to do better.

I feel like the only reward for surviving is xp to unlock some characters. The guides aren't too bad, but they can never prepare you for the total randomness of deaths in the game...which I guess is the point of the game. I kinda loved stealing the Tallbird's egg even though I didn't know what it's good for.

First hours this will happen to you, but after surviving first winter + next summer, you will find easy survive more than 100 days.

Worth it, spent a lot of time in it.

It's like the first time I played Skyrim - couldn't stop playing, kept exploring and getting new items, going to new places, fighting new creatures. I hope Don't Starve remains interesting though...I lost interest in Skyrim after my 1st partial play-through.

I found it super boring. Had it pre-launch, was excited to play it, but you don't do anything. You'll spend hours just collecting berries and twigs and logs and slowly enough to do a little bit more.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, you can find much better games for much cheaper during the Summer Sale.

I mean, to each his own (opinions and all); and it seems like some people really like the game as well. You might end up liking it, but I would recommend that anyone who really wants to play it either wait for a bundle or 75+% off sale.

Indeed, I bought it when it was in beta, so I got it for 10€ or so and I sold the second key half the price.
Upto now I played a few, not a lot, because DotA stole me a lot of time.
But yeah, indeed almost all the time you need to collect food - not only berries, but you can also go fishing, creating bird traps and so. You can craft weapons too, but they are usable mainly only to defend from monsters.
I mean, imho, it's not bad, you can always play it differently and doing different things, also Maxwell's challenge is kinda hard to beat.
If you like sandboxes, is awesome, a really deep true survival game. But I think it still misses something, dunno what, but it misses something.
By the way, it's worth 8-10$.

I like the game, but don't love the game. It can be a grind if you're the type that spends long hours with a single game.

For casual gameplay, though, it's very fun. And it's unlike almost anything else I've played. Clever, great art.

But it can get repetitive on the re-grind to get back to the level you were at before as you get better at it.

edit: Keep in mind I haven't logged that many hours. It may get much, much better. I dunno.

I am hoping it goes 75% off. I only have 4€ to spend on the summer offers and I want this game to be the chosen :(

If not, these may be the first offers I let go.

yes, I'm completely sure. It was a daily and a flash at 40%, what makes you think it could get to 75%?
